Why Canada intends to recognise Palestine as a state

Canada Mark Carney
  • Canada will recognise a Palestinian state in September 2025, as announced by Prime Minister Mark Carney on Wednesday.
  • This decision follows similar moves by France and the UK, reflecting a broader global shift in diplomatic pressure concerning Israel's policies in Gaza.
  • Carney stated that the recognition is conditional on the Palestinian Authority holding general elections in 2026, excluding Hamas, and the demilitarisation of the Palestinian state.
  • The announcement comes amid mounting international pressure due to the severe humanitarian situation in Gaza and aims to preserve the possibility of a two-state solution.
  • Israel's ambassador to Canada, Iddo Moed, responded by stating that Israel will not yield to international pressure or permit the imposition of a 'jihadist state' on its ancestral homeland.
